Ishaan Khatter, who enjoys a massive fan following on social media, particularly after his web series 'The Royals', recently hosted an 'Ask Me Anything' session on Instagram. The actor, who made his debut with 'Beyond The Clouds' and later starred in 'Dhadak', 'Phone Bhoot', 'Pippa', 'The Perfect Couple', and the Oscar-shortlisted 'Homebound', was asked a question about his religion by a curious fan.
The fan's query read: "Your religion, I mean I am getting confused." Instead of giving a direct answer, Ishaan responded with a playful mix of references from different faiths. He wrote: "Jai Jesus, Shree Allah, Holy Spirit Di Fateh." This phrase is a popular meme that blends elements of Christianity, Islam, and Sikhism.
Shortly after, Ishaan added a more thoughtful message, sharing his personal beliefs beyond religious labels. "Nature, kindness, humanity, creation," he wrote. Along with his answer, he posted a scenic photograph of himself standing against a stunning backdrop dotted with hot-air balloons.
Family Background
Ishaan comes from a family with diverse cultural roots. His mother, veteran actor and classical dancer Neelima Azeem, was raised in a Muslim household, while his father, actor Rajesh Khattar, belongs to a Punjabi Hindu family. Ishaan and Shahid Kapoor are half-brothers through their mother, as Shahid is the son of Neelima Azeem and her first husband, acclaimed actor Pankaj Kapur.
